JIMMY F ALLONBanks today are not the banks of yore when banks held your money, maybe paid a small interest rate and lent money to people with rock solid credit. You could be assured that your money was safe. Not today. J. P. Morgan Chase, Wall Streets largest bank, disclosed a trading loss of $2 billion. The loss came as a result of trading in risky credit derivatives to hedge against potential losses on risky business mode? The answer is the revoking of the Glass-Steagall Banking Act. The following excerpts from Wikipedia explains the history of Glass-Steagall. The Banking Act of 1933, enacted June 16, 1933, was a law that established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States and imposed banking reforms, several of which were intended to control speculation. It is often referred to as the GlassSteagall Act, after its Congressional sponsors, Senator Carter Glass (D) of Virginia, and Representative Henry B. Steagall (D) of Alabama. The term GlassSteagall Act, however, is most often used to refer to four provisions of the Banking Act of 1933 that limited commercial bank securities activities and affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms. Starting in the early 1960s federal banking regulators interpreted these provisions to permit commercial banks and especially list and volume of securities activities. By the time the repealed through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999 by President Bill Clinton, many commentators argued Glass-Steagall was already dead. Most with Salomon Smith Barney, one of permitted under the Federal Reserve Boards then existing interpretation of the Glass-Steagall Act. If Glass-Steagall was re-enacted, Americas financial system would be more stable with less risk. Banks couldnt play casino games with depositors funds. Those people that wanted Glass-Steagall repealed believed and still believes that Wall Street will always act in a rational manner. The markets arent rational America to its knees, there were attempts to reign in Wall Street. The Dodd-Frank bill was an anemic markets, but Republicans have the long knives out for Dodd-Frank to protect their corporate benefactors on Wall Street. Republicans claim that Dodd-Frank is hindering the job creators in creating jobs. Trading in credit derivatives does not create jobs. Its gambling. Its not lending money to a company to build a shopping mall. Its a paper game. Not all of these risky trading events lose money. Frequently, a bank will reap a gazillion dollars from one of the events. We dont hear about their successes, just their losses, as is the case of J. P. Morgan Chase. Will the 2008 Wall Street crisis be repeated? Most likely. Will the Congress exercise any control over depositors funds and maybe re-enact the GlassSteagall Act? Not likely, when Republicans control the House.Bring back the Glass-Steagall Act

MAY 23, 2012 THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL Page 7 COMMENTARY WASHINGTONMERRY-GO-ROUNDby Douglas Cohn and Eleanor Clift WASHINGTON President Obama will never be called the great communicator because hes not getting credit for a lot of the positive things hes doing for the economy. Its understandable that he doesnt want to cheer lead too much when so many people are out of work and struggling, but he shouldnt be shy about touting news that can help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Its well known that the banks have been derelict for the last three years, accepting bailout money from the federal government and then sitting on that money instead of loaning it out and getting the economy moving. The administration has launched a variety of programs to ease the foreclosure crisis, but none have been particularly effective until perhaps now. Responding to what must have been mounting White cant new program that has the potential of easing if not ending the foreclosure crisis plaguing homeowners and stalling economic growth. Get out your calcula tors because this looks like the real deal. Often when things look too good to be true, theyre not, but Bank of America is one of the nations major banks and what they do will establish a precedent that other banks will be hard pressed to ignore. BofA announced that it will honor short sales and also waive homeowners. Heres how it works: An appraiser sets the price, 21 days, there can be a price reduction indeed there can be three price reductions. And if it doesnt sell after 120 days, the homeowner deeds the house back to the bank. If the sale price is less than what the homeowner owes on the house, the bank accepts the to what banks have done up until now either reject the offer as too low, or come after the homeowner to make up the difference. For those who want to stay in their home and have fallen behind, BofA is offering principal reductions. This makes a great deal of sense, yet it has met stiff resistance mainly from Republicans, who view it as a handout that is undeserved. Heres how their thinking goes: If youre a homeowner and youve scrimped and saved to make your payments, why should a neighbor of yours who maybe bought a boat, or took an expensive vacation, and then fell behind on his mortgage payments why should he get help from the government? Looking at the world this way presumes that everybody who cant make their payments is somehow undeserving when the vast majority of those who get caught up in a vortex of debt got there for reasons most of us would consider valid illness, unemployment and in the case of the housing bubble that popped, loans that should never have been made. But whose fault was that? A banking industry drunk on bundling mortgages and securitizing them in what became known as credit default swaps bears the brunt of what went wrong in of Americas willingness to work with homeowners and set prices that are realistic could lead the way to keeping the economy from fully rebounding. The banks should have done this three years ago, when have paid the price for their negligence, but good news should be celebrated whenever it arrives and Obama should shout this development from the rooftops.Obama, BofA and you

Each team played two quarters against the others at Bowles Field in Blountstown. The Tigers opened against the Sneads Pirates and the spring rust showed early for Blountstown. Sneads used an 80 yard run up the middle to move to the Tiger goal line and then punched it in for the early 6-0 lead. With no special teams play in the contest all teams were required to go for two points after a touchdown. The conversion failed as the Tiger defense stopped the Pirates short. used a long pass to set up their second score of the game. This time the conversion was good and Sneads held a 14-0 lead. The Tiger defense started getting more pressure on the Pirates and the result was a Sneads fumble the Tigers returned for a touchdown. The conversion failed and the half ended with Sneads ahead 14-6. In the second contest of the night, Liberty County scored early as the Bulldog running attack kept Sneads moving backwards. Liberty used a 61 -yard run and then scored again on a short run to move ahead 16-0 after making both two-point conversions. Neither team scored in the second quarter and Liberty ended the half ahead by 16. threatened as they moved the ball inside the Tiger ten yard line, but the Blountstown defense stiffened and shut down the Bulldog attack. Both teams had trouble holding onto the ball, but in the end it was a Liberty fumble that would prove to be the most costly as the Tigers converted the miscue into a touchdown to win the half 6-0.

F. M., San Luis Obispo, CASalsa recipes are as varied as tomato sauces, but the basics should include two or three types of chile peppershot or mild, probably at least one jalapeo version, and maybe a red-hot habanero. Most seed catalogs and garden centers offer information about the level of hotness of their seeds and plants, so you your taste buds. Authentic salsa also includes tomatillos, a Mexican tomato-like fruit that grows with a papery husk. The tomatoes for your salsa can be of almost any variety or a combination. Cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes, or the larger beefsteak versions are all acceptable. Some recipes call for green, unripe tomatoes, which are usually easy to come by in our native New England climates.

Tearing up the leaves and separating them allows the lettuce to dry. A whole head of let tuce retains the moisture it came with and picks up more moisture in the refrigerator, unless it is stored in the crisper drawer. For appetizingly crisp leaf lettuce, wash and dry it, layer the leaves between clean paper towels, and place them in a plastic bag. Store in the crisper drawer until youre ready to serve it. If you purchase a cel lophane-wrapped head of iceberg lettuce, leave it in the wrapper until you are ready to use it. Lettuce sold with its roots intact keeps best if you wrap the roots in damp paper towels, then place the whole head in a plastic bag. This type of lettuce also can be placed upright in a glass of water (like covered with a plastic bag, and refrigerated.How can I get rid of the fairy rings of mushrooms in my backyard?Theres no good control for these mushrooms, which spread in circles from an underground fungus. You can remove the mushrooms, temporarily at least, by mowing or raking them. Apply low doses of nitrogen to your lawn on a regular basis. This will increase soil fertil ity and may create a hostile environment for mushroom regrowth. By the way, these patterns of growth are known as fairy rings because it was once thought that they marked the paths of dancing fairies.

The high river offer some amazing viewing opportunities and during the civil war, these bluffs played a very vital role. The river system is navigable from Apalachicola Bay, Florida to Columbus, GA. During the Civil War the security of Columbus, GA was essential in preventing federal blockading vessels positioned at Apalachicola Bay from reaching this important industrial city. Confederate Brigadier-General James H. Trapier reported that Apalachicola was the largest importing and exporting port in the state and defense of the river was vital to the plantations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and most importantly the manufacturing city of Columbus. Several batteries or gun emplace ments were placed along the east bank of the river to deter Union boats from making their way north. One such battery was Hammock Landing Battery at Neals Bluff, today known as the bluff at Torreya State Park. The earthworks consisted of sunken with three powder magazines centrally located within each paired gun emplacement. Additionally, remnants of a contemporary artillery road are visible in the rear of the earthwork that likely connected the battery with the river landing. Although the historic location of the river landing associated with Hammock Landing is unknown, 20th century river charts depict a modern ing, below the battery at the base of the bluff along the Apalachicola River. A May 1864 description of the battery indicates that it was constructed en barbette (or over the 18-pounder, two 32-pounder and one 24-pounder cannons. Military inspection records indicate that the magazines were poorly during heavy rains. As a result, in early 1864, Confederate General Pierre G. T. Beauregard ordered the magazines to be improved or rebuilt. The battery was garrisoned by Georgia Regulars, two companies Artillery, three companies of the 29th Georgia Cavalry, as well as the 12th Georgia Volunteer Infantry. It is believed that the battery at Hammock in the Civil War was dismantled and moved inward to other battles. Today the emplacements can still be viewed east of the Gregory House on the River Bluff Trail.

To the editor: No quicker had Calhoun County and other high performing school districts begun to celebrate the sweet smell of suc cess on their 2011 school grades when somebody comes along with a skunk to spoil the party. The FCAT turns into a polecat with an unexplainable about face in plummeted school grades for 2012. There was such a public outcry that the Florida Board of Education had to address those drastic changes in the school grading system. Many concerned questions were asked out right of which the Department of Education had no answer for and leaving many of those questions to be pondered. Superintendents across the state are infuriated with this years results which of students and teachers. Personally, I dont believe there has been any drop off in the level of instruction by teachers and the effort of students to perform well on the FCAT. Superintendent Jackie Pons of Leon County called for an end to the FCAT. He said, This goes back to the credibility of the FCAT. Across this great is at an all time low, I bet. Superintendent David Miller, of Wakulla (former state of Florida Superintendent of the Year) stated that he saw a train wreck coming from this situation. Senate President Elect, Don Gaetz (R, Niceville) exclaimed, I think this a lot worse than that. It loses credibility among those of us who have to defend standardized testing. agement. He said the department owes an honest answer to teachers and students. It is up to the Commissioner and State Board to evaluate how they got themselves into this mess and who did not get them out of this mess. When you contract for testing and evaluation, you have to ask hard questions about methodology. Clearly someone did not ask hard questions or understand the consequences. This is not a pure science so there is a margin for judgment and subjectivity. But the scope and breath of the screw up is unforgiveable. There is nothing wrong with raising the standards but the drastically lower 2012 state writing scores indicate something is wrong with the evaluation method, not the standards set by the state board. Both Senator Bill Montford and Superintendent Jackie Pons want to see the method that was used to grade the essays and see the instruction given to the scorers who are trained to grade the papers. ish analysis of the action that led to a the FCAT writing session. The following statement is from the Florida PTA: We ask, are our public schools being set up to fail, therefore creating the choice for parents to remove their children from our public school system and place them in pritaxpayers dollars? Is this a coincidence or a plan? Questioned was the Jeb Bush Foundation-led initiative to back the Trigger Bill which gave parents the power to control school transfers and even close low performing schools. had given any thought to the emotional roller coaster they had created for Floridas children. There are many people that believe a change to readjust those scores is a step backwards. The truth is that student grades didnt change. The only change was how schools were affected by the new grading system. The purpose of such assessment test as the FCAT is to evaluate how students use higher order thinking and problem solving skills, understand how to use technology, conduct research tive skills. If the state continues to raise these standards for students, there should be some accountability standards set for the state to see that teachers are properly trained to prepare students for the test and show some consistency in the grading system.

It turned out to be an extra ordinary day that our students wont soon forget! Students got the opportunity to see some of their favorite teachers, administrators and fellow classmates get creamed in the face with a pie! The Junior Beta Club sponsored a week long fund raising drive to raise money to help LCHS Senior Chris Hansford. Chris has medical expenses and we wanted to help him as much as we could. The entire eighth grade class, along with Mr. Mercer, Mr. Day and Mrs. Jeri, agreed to have their names placed on buckets in the library to collect donations.

Among student donations, Mr. Mercer received the most money, followed by Mrs. Jeri, the eighth grade students were, Micah McCaskill, Emily Todd, Tessa Boutwell and Mr. Day. In a last ditch effort to save themselves, Mr. Day and Mr. Mercer joined forces and ventured into the community to seek out donations from Mrs. Jeris bucket. They came back to school with donations totaling $1,355 from Sue Summers, Donnie Conyers, Roger Reddick, Laban and Linda Bontrager, GCA, Ramseys Piggly Wiggly, Doobie Hayes, Robert Hill, Ken Hosford, Kyle Peddie, Logan Kever, Blackburns Grocery and many more. Our very own Hosford student, Gunter Barber opened his own wallet and gave big money for the opportunity to be the one to pie Mrs. Jeri. On a side note, LCHS Juniors Sydney Sanders and Micah McCaskill were both challenged to raise $100 for the opportunity to pie each other. Micah raised his money to get Sydney, but she failed to collect her $100 to get Micah back. She came and took her pie like the true trooper she is. And for dragging her into the competition to begin with, Mrs. Miranda Ellis was pied by Sydney! At the same time, the Beta Club also conducted a walk-a-thon. All Hosford Students asked family members and friends to sponsor them in the walk-a-thon to help raise money for Chris as well. The students, through their donaThis brought our grand total to $3,000. We were able to present Chris with a check May 22 at his Senior Awards Day program. This is such a good cause and there are no words that can adequately express just how good it feels to be able to help Chris. Our students went above and beyond our wildest expectations and really dug deep to help us be able to accomplish this task. We love and appreciate our eighth graders for being such good sports and for agreeing to endure a little embarrassment to help out a fellow student. We are most appreciative to the members of our community who time and time again help and support our students in ways too numerous to mention. This school is great because of the community which stands behind and supports it! Hosfords Beta Club wishes to thank each and every one of you who contributed to this fundraising drive. We could not have done it without your support. If we missed you and you didnt get a chance to make a donation to help Chris Hansford, but would like to do so, we will continue to take donations until the end of the school term, June or mail it to us at: Hosford School Junior Beta Club, Attention: We will be glad to forward it on to Chris for you.Hosford Jr. Beta holds fundraiser for Chris Hansford WR TolarEleven Liberty County High School students in the Allied Health Academy ministrative Assistant exam.

In order to participate the students were required to read at least three Sunshine State books and pass an Accelerated Reader test on the books.

In the elementary division, reading all of the 15 Sunshine State books was fourth grader who read all 15 books: Damon Maki, Hannah Mills, Hayden White, Collin Mears and Kiana Richards. The Sunshine State Young Readers Award Program (SSYRA) is coordinated by library media specialists in schools participating in the program. The 60 students that participated were all awarded with a ice cream sundae party hosted by Media Specialist Sara K Waldorff. This reading motivation program was designed to entice students to read high interest, contemporary literature for personal enjoyment. The long term goal of the program is to nurture lifelong readers who will continue to read for information needs and personal pleasure. Student voting statistics illustrate the consistent library media support of school reading programs and the statewide reading initiative, Just Read, Florida!

Because Memorial Day weekend, which kicks off summer activities, is right around the corner, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds all boaters in Florida to rededicate themselves to boating safely. Florida is a great place to enjoy boating year-round, said Col. Jim Brown, director of the FWCs Division of Law Enforcement. That weekend marks the unofmer and means even more people will be out on the water. National Safe Boating Week (May 19-25) also presents an opportunity to emphasize the importance of remaining safe while boating. Memorial Day weekend is May 26-28. The safe-boating effort is timely, as 10 people have already lost their lives this year due to boating accidents. We want to reach out to as many boaters as we can to help them understand that most boating accidents are preventable, Brown said. FWC people as safe as possible, but we need your help. The FWC reminds boaters to enjoy their time on the water by remember ing a few safety precautions, such as remaining alert while operating a boat, wearing a life jacket at all times and designating a sober boat operator. According to the FWC, inattentiveness of the operator often contributes to boating accidents, and statistics show that more than 64 percent of the 66 boating-related deaths attributed to drowning. The wide variety of comfortable, affordable and stylish life jackets on the market today offers all boaters the protection they need. Boating smart and safely could result in fewer injuries and deaths each year, Brown said. More information can be found by visiting www. MyFWC.com/Boating.

JIMMY FF ALLONBanks today are not the banks of yore when banks held your money, maybe paid a small interest rate and lent money to people with rock solid credit. You could be assured that your money was safe. Not today. J. P. Morgan Chase, Wall Streets largest bank, disclosed a trading loss of $2 billion. The loss came as a result of trading in risky credit derivatives to hedge against potential losses on risky business mode? The answer is the revoking of the Glass-Steagall Banking Act. The following excerpts from Wikipedia explains the history of Glass-Steagall. The Banking Act of 1933, enacted June 16, 1933, was a law that established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the United States and imposed banking reforms, several of which were intended to control speculation. It is often referred to as the GlassSteagall Act, after its Congressional sponsors, Senator Carter Glass (D) of Virginia, and Representative Henry B. Steagall (D) of Alabama. The term GlassSteagall Act, however, is most often used to refer to four provisions of the Banking Act of 1933 that limited commercial bank securities activities and affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms. Starting in the early 1960s federal banking regulators interpreted these provisions to permit commercial banks and especially list and volume of securities activities. By the time the repealed through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999 by President Bill Clinton, many commentators argued Glass-Steagall was already dead. Most with Salomon Smith Barney, one of permitted under the Federal Reserve Boards then existing interpretation of the Glass-Steagall Act. If Glass-Steagall was re-enacted, Americas financial system would be more stable with less risk. Banks couldnt play casino games with depositors funds. Those people that wanted Glass-Steagall repealed believed and still believes that Wall Street will always act in a rational manner. The markets arent rational America to its knees, there were attempts to reign in Wall Street. The Dodd-Frank bill was an anemic markets, but Republicans have the long knives out for Dodd-Frank to protect their corporate benefactors on Wall Street. Republicans claim that Dodd-Frank is hindering the job creators in creating jobs. Trading in credit derivatives does not create jobs. Its gambling. Its not lending money to a company to build a shopping mall. Its a paper game. Not all of these risky trading events lose money. Frequently, a bank will reap a gazillion dollars from one of the events. We dont hear about their successes, just their losses, as is the case of J. P. Morgan Chase. Will the 2008 Wall Street crisis be repeated? Most likely. Will the Congress exercise any control over depositors funds and maybe re-enact the GlassSteagall Act?

MAY 23, 2012 / THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL Page 7 COMMENTARY WASHINGTONMERRY-GO-ROUNDby Douglas Cohn and Eleanor Clift WASHINGTON President Obama will never be called the great communicator because hes not getting credit for a lot of the positive things hes doing for the economy. Its understandable that he doesnt want to cheer lead too much when so many people are out of work and struggling, but he shouldnt be shy about touting news that can help homeowners avoid foreclosure. Its well known that the banks have been derelict for the last three years, accepting bailout money from the federal government and then sitting on that money instead of loaning it out and getting the economy moving. The administration has launched a variety of programs to ease the foreclosure crisis, but none have been particularly effective until perhaps now. Responding to what must have been mounting White cant new program that has the potential of easing if not ending the foreclosure crisis plaguing homeowners and stalling economic growth. Get out your calculators because this looks like the real deal. Often when things look too good to be true, theyre not, but Bank of America is one of the nations major banks and what they do will establish a precedent that other banks will be hard pressed to ignore. BofA announced that it will honor short sales and also waive homeowners. Heres how it works: An appraiser sets the price, 21 days, there can be a price reduction indeed there can be three price reductions. And if it doesnt sell after 120 days, the homeowner deeds the house back to the bank. If the sale price is less than what the homeowner owes on the house, the bank accepts the to what banks have done up until now either reject the offer as too low, or come after the homeowner to make up the difference. For those who want to stay in their home and have fallen behind, BofA is offering principal reductions. This makes a great deal of sense, yet it has met stiff resistance mainly from Republicans, who view it as a handout that is undeserved. Heres how their thinking goes: If youre a homeowner and youve scrimped and saved to make your payments, why should a neighbor of yours who maybe bought a boat, or took an expensive vacation, and then fell behind on his mortgage payments why should he get help from the government? Looking at the world this way presumes that everybody who cant make their payments is somehow undeserving when the vast majority of those who get caught up in a vortex of debt got there for reasons most of us would consider valid illness, unemployment and in the case of the housing bubble that popped, loans that should never have been made. But whose fault was that? A banking industry drunk on bundling mortgages and securitizing them in what became known as credit default swaps bears the brunt of what went wrong in of Americas willingness to work with homeowners and set prices that are realistic could lead the way to keeping the economy from fully rebounding. The banks should have done this three years ago, when have paid the price for their negligence, but good news should be celebrated whenever it arrives and Obama should shout this development from the rooftops.Obama, BofA and you

MAY 23, 2012 / THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL Page 9 SPORTsSby Richard Williams, Journal sports writerThe Blountstown Tigers hosted a spring football jamboree May 18 with Sneads and Liberty County each coming to play in the contest. Each team played two quarters against the others at Bowles Field in Blountstown. The Tigers opened against the Sneads Pirates and the spring rust showed early for Blountstown. Sneads used an 80 yard run up the middle to move to the Tiger goal line and then punched it in for the early 6-0 lead. With no special teams play in the contest all teams were required to go for two points after a touchdown. The conversion failed as the Tiger defense stopped the Pirates short. used a long pass to set up their second score of the game. This time the conversion was good and Sneads held a 14-0 lead. The Tiger defense started getting more pressure on the Pirates and the result was a Sneads fumble the Tigers returned for a touchdown. The conversion failed and the half ended with Sneads ahead 14-6. In the second contest of the night, Liberty County scored early as the Bulldog running attack kept Sneads moving backwards. Liberty used a 61 -yard run and then scored again on a short run to move ahead 16-0 after making both two-point conversions. Neither team scored in the second quarter and Liberty ended the half ahead by 16. threatened as they moved the ball inside the Tiger ten yard line, but the Blountstown defense stiffened and shut down the Bulldog attack. Both teams had trouble holding onto the ball, but in the end it was a Liberty fumble that would prove to be the most costly as the Tigers converted the miscue into a touchdown to win the half 6-0.

Tearing up the leaves and separating them allows the lettuce to dry. A whole head of lettuce retains the moisture it came with and picks up more moisture in the refrigerator, unless it is stored in the crisper drawer. For appetizingly crisp leaf lettuce, wash and dry it, layer the leaves between clean paper towels, and place them in a plastic bag. Store in the crisper drawer until youre ready to serve it. If you purchase a cellophane-wrapped head of iceberg lettuce, leave it in the wrapper until you are ready to use it. Lettuce sold with its roots intact keeps best if you wrap the roots in damp paper towels, then place the whole head in a plastic bag. This type of lettuce also can be placed upright in a glass of water (like covered with a plastic bag, and refrigerated.How can I get rid of the fairy rings of mushrooms in my backyard?Theres no good control for these mushrooms, which spread in circles from an underground fungus. You can remove the mushrooms, temporarily at least, by mowing or raking them. Apply low doses of nitrogen to your lawn on a regular basis. This will increase soil fertility and may create a hostile environment for mushroom regrowth. By the way, these patterns of growth are known as fairy rings because it was once thought that they marked the paths of dancing fairies.

The high river offer some amazing viewing opportunities and during the civil war, these bluffs played a very vital role. The river system is navigable from Apalachicola Bay, Florida to Columbus, GA. During the Civil War the security of Columbus, GA was essential in preventing federal blockading vessels positioned at Apalachicola Bay from reaching this important industrial city. Confederate Brigadier-General James H. Trapier reported that Apalachicola was the largest importing and exporting port in the state and defense of the river was vital to the plantations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and most importantly the manufacturing city of Columbus. Several batteries or gun emplacements were placed along the east bank of the river to deter Union boats from making their way north. One such battery was Hammock Landing Battery at Neals Bluff, today known as the bluff at Torreya State Park. The earthworks consisted of sunken with three powder magazines centrally located within each paired gun emplacement. Additionally, remnants of a contemporary artillery road are visible in the rear of the earthwork that likely connected the battery with the river landing. Although the historic location of the river landing associated with Hammock Landing is unknown, 20th century river charts depict a modern ing, below the battery at the base of the bluff along the Apalachicola River. A May 1864 description of the battery indicates that it was constructed en barbette (or over the 18-pounder, two 32-pounder and one 24-pounder cannons. Military inspection records indicate that the magazines were poorly during heavy rains. As a result, in early 1864, Confederate General Pierre G. T. Beauregard ordered the magazines to be improved or rebuilt. The battery was garrisoned by Georgia Regulars, two companies Artillery, three companies of the 29th Georgia Cavalry, as well as the 12th Georgia Volunteer Infantry. It is believed that the battery at Hammock in the Civil War was dismantled and moved inward to other battles. Today the emplacements can still be viewed east of the Gregory House on the River Bluff Trail.

To the editor: No quicker had Calhoun County and other high performing school districts begun to celebrate the sweet smell of suc cess on their 2011 school grades when somebody comes along with a skunk to spoil the party. The FCAT turns into a polecat with an unexplainable about face in plummeted school grades for 2012. There was such a public outcry that the Florida Board of Education had to address those drastic changes in the school grading system. Many concerned questions were asked out right of which the Department of Education had no answer for and leaving many of those questions to be pondered. Superintendents across the state are infuriated with this years results which of students and teachers. Personally, I dont believe there has been any drop off in the level of instruction by teachers and the effort of students to perform well on the FCAT. Superintendent Jackie Pons of Leon County called for an end to the FCAT. He said, This goes back to the credibility of the FCAT. Across this great is at an all time low, I bet. Superintendent David Miller, of Wakulla (former state of Florida Superintendent of the Year) stated that he saw a train wreck coming from this situation. Senate President Elect, Don Gaetz (R, Niceville) exclaimed, I think this a lot worse than that. It loses credibility among those of us who have to defend standardized testing. agement. He said the department owes an honest answer to teachers and students. It is up to the Commissioner and State Board to evaluate how they got themselves into this mess and who did not get them out of this mess. When you contract for testing and evaluation, you have to ask hard questions about methodology. Clearly someone did not ask hard questions or understand the consequences. This is not a pure science so there is a margin for judgment and subjectivity. But the scope and breath of the screw up is unforgiveable. There is nothing wrong with raising the standards but the drastically lower 2012 state writing scores indicate something is wrong with the evaluation method, not the standards set by the state board. Both Senator Bill Montford and Superintendent Jackie Pons want to see the method that was used to grade the essays and see the instruction given to the scorers who are trained to grade the papers. ish analysis of the action that led to a the FCAT writing session. The following statement is from the Florida PTA: We ask, are our public schools being set up to fail, therefore creating the choice for parents to remove their children from our public school system and place them in pritaxpayers dollars? Is this a coincidence or a plan? Questioned was the Jeb Bush Foundation-led initiative to back the Trigger Bill which gave parents the power to control school transfers and even close low performing schools. had given any thought to the emotional roller coaster they had created for Floridas children. There are many people that believe a change to readjust those scores is a step backwards. The truth is that student grades didnt change. The only change was how schools were affected by the new grading system. The purpose of such assessment test as the FCAT is to evaluate how students use higher order thinking and problem solving skills, understand how to use technology, conduct research tive skills. If the state continues to raise these standards for students, there should be some accountability standards set for the state to see that teachers are properly trained to prepare students for the test and show some consistency in the grading system.

It turned out to be an extra ordinary day that our students wont soon forget! Students got the opportunity to see some of their favorite teachers, administrators and fellow classmates get creamed in the face with a pie! The Junior Beta Club sponsored a week long fund raising drive to raise money to help LCHS Senior Chris Hansford. Chris has medical expenses and we wanted to help him as much as we could. The entire eighth grade class, along with Mr. Mercer, Mr. Day and Mrs. Jeri, agreed to have their names placed on buckets in the library to collect donations. All week students ran through the library and deposited money into the tubs of those they most wanted to see get hit with a pie. Friday the money was counted and the pies were served! Among student donations, Mr. Mercer received the most money, followed by Mrs. Jeri, the eighth grade students were, Micah McCaskill, Emily Todd, Tessa Boutwell and Mr. Day. In a last ditch effort to save themselves, Mr. Day and Mr. Mercer joined forces and ventured into the community to seek out donations from Mrs. Jeris bucket. They came back to school with donations totaling $1,355 from Sue Summers, Donnie Conyers, Roger Reddick, Laban and Linda Bontrager, GCA, Ramseys Piggly Wiggly, Doobie Hayes, Robert Hill, Ken Hosford, Kyle Peddie, Logan Kever, Blackburns Grocery and many more. Our very own Hosford student, Gunter Barber opened his own wallet and gave big money for the opportunity to be the one to pie Mrs. Jeri. On a side note, LCHS Juniors Sydney Sanders and Micah McCaskill were both challenged to raise $100 for the opportunity to pie each other. Micah raised his money to get Sydney, but she failed to collect her $100 to get Micah back. She came and took her pie like the true trooper she is. And for dragging her into the competition to begin with, Mrs. Miranda Ellis was pied by Sydney! At the same time, the Beta Club also conducted a walk-a-thon. All Hosford Students asked family members and friends to sponsor them in the walk-a-thon to help raise money for Chris as well. The students, through their donaThis brought our grand total to $3,000. We were able to present Chris with a check May 22 at his Senior Awards Day program. This is such a good cause and there are no words that can adequately express just how good it feels to be able to help Chris. Our students went above and beyond our wildest expectations and really dug deep to help us be able to accomplish this task. We love and appreciate our eighth graders for being such good sports and for agreeing to endure a little embarrassment to help out a fellow student. We are most appreciative to the members of our community who time and time again help and support our students in ways too numerous to mention. This school is great because of the community which stands behind and supports it! Hosfords Beta Club wishes to thank each and every one of you who contributed to this fundraising drive. We could not have done it without your support. If we missed you and you didnt get a chance to make a donation to help Chris Hansford, but would like to do so, we will continue to take donations until the end of the school term, June or mail it to us at: Hosford School Junior Beta Club, Attention: We will be glad to forward it on to Chris for you.Hosford Jr. Beta holds fundraiser for Chris Hansford WR TolarEleven Liberty County High School students in the Allied Health Academy ministrative Assistant exam.

Because Memorial Day weekend, which kicks off summer activities, is right around the corner, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds all boaters in Florida to rededicate themselves to boating safely. Florida is a great place to enjoy boating year-round, said Col. Jim Brown, director of the FWCs Division of Law Enforcement. That weekend marks the unofmer and means even more people will be out on the water. National Safe Boating Week (May 19-25) also presents an opportunity to emphasize the importance of remaining safe while boating. Memorial Day weekend is May 26-28. The safe-boating effort is timely, as 10 people have already lost their lives this year due to boating accidents. We want to reach out to as many boaters as we can to help them understand that most boating accidents are preventable, Brown said. FWC people as safe as possible, but we need your help. The FWC reminds boaters to enjoy their time on the water by remembering a few safety precautions, such as remaining alert while operating a boat, wearing a life jacket at all times and designating a sober boat operator. According to the FWC, inattentiveness of the operator often contributes to boating accidents, and statistics show that more than 64 percent of the 66 boating-related deaths attributed to drowning. The wide variety of comfortable, affordable and stylish life jackets on the market today offers all boaters the protection they need. Boating smart and safely could result in fewer injuries and deaths each year, Brown said. More information can be found by visiting www. MyFWC.com/Boating.
